This memoir was incredible. I read it in just over 36 hours and I was thinking about it even when I wasn’t reading it. The book is written from the point of view of a mother and her daughter and the journey they went on after her daughter was peer pressured into sending nude photos. I would 100% recommend this to anyone, it is definitely worth the read.

An important memoir written from the perspectives of mother and daughter as they battle years of Roxy’s mental health illnesses off of the back of sending inappropriate photos encouraged by inappropriate boys when she was just 13.
This book highlights in the rawest of ways how mental health illness can present is different ways, affect people differently and how it can impact on the people around you as well. What I found particularly interesting from reading this mother/daughter memoir was just quite how hard it can be to remember how much you love someone when things are feeling a bit better.
It’s definitely an eye-opening read and I liked that we got both sides of the same story. I’d recommend this book.

At 13 Roxy was pressurized into sending explicit photos, there after blackmailed. The humiliation she felt coupled with self doubt lead her to a psychotic breakdown. Together Roxy and her mother Gay have to navigate this troublesome journey, making hard choices and following survival instincts.
This book is a memoir about a mother and daughters' relationship that was tested to the end, it was gut wrenching, raw and split wide open. I will recommend this book to anyone and everyone because you need to read this immediately. I felt every emotion both mother and daughter endured, from the happy moments, the little victories to the heart breaking one's too. It was truly an extraordinary book.
